Jordyn Woods’ orange clutch is displayed at New York City’s Guggenheim Museum after the Knicks’ championship run
Woods wore the original bag during every Knicks Finals win but could not bring it to Game 3
A gold version called Trophy Gold will be sold at her New York pop-up on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1
Jordyn Woods doesn’t think the New York Knicks need a lucky bag to win. They just need her.
The 29-year-old wife of player Karl-Anthony Towns joked about her now-viral “lucky bag,” which many credited with taking the Knicks to their first NBA Championship victory since 1973 back in June.
“I am the good luck charm, I will say,” Woods teased on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle on Friday, Oct. 23. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on inanimate objects.”
The orange Tux Clutch Mini bag from Woods’ personal line was put on display at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City in a testament to its efforts in helping the Knicks secure their trophy.
But while Woods doesn’t necessarily subscribe to the philosophy that the purse was responsible for the championship, she’s willing to have a back-up purse for this season just in case.
“I do have a gold bag that I wore to the first game,” she shared. “So it’s a gold version of the lucky bag. It’s to honor the trophy of them winning, being champions.”
Those looking for their own golden piece of the action will have just two days to purchase the new purse at Woods’ New York-based pop-up store. She shared that the clutch in “Trophy Gold” will only be available at the pop-up on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
Woods’ original bag was in the building with her for every Knicks Finals game that resulted in a win for New York last season. When a no-bag policy prevented her from bringing the clutch into Madison Square Garden for Game 3, due to President Donald Trump‘s plans to attend the game, the Knicks lost.
“I made this sample for the playoffs,” Woods explained on Jenna & Sheinelle back in June. “I started wearing it, we won the game and it became a superstition.”

“It really went viral when I couldn’t bring it, and it was the first game we lost, I think, in 50 days or something,” she added. “After [the Knicks parade], I’m going to hang it in the rafters. I think she needs a rest.”
Towns was all-in on the superstition surrounding the bag, calling it “one of the greatest clothing articles in the history of basketball!” in a previous Instagram post.
